Norse Organics Kill Acne & Redness Ritual Collection Review

Norse Organics skincare review

 

Like many, I’ve had my fair share of acne issues, trying various treatments with mixed results. #AD

So, when I heard about Norse Organics’ Kill Acne & Redness Ritual Collection, I was intrigued but skeptical. Little did I know that this trio of natural products – the 6-1-Day Balm, Acne Killer Night Balm, and Face Scrub – would become my skin’s new best friends.

Apart from being quick and easy to use, this collection is unique because of its use of pure plant extracts and arctic beeswax, wild-harvested from the Norwegian mountains. These resilient plants, which survive temperatures as low as -20ยฐC (68ยฐF) and deep snow, pack a powerful nutritional punch. Due to Norway’s short ripening window, these plants concentrate all their nutrients at once, resulting in incredibly potent ingredients that are harvested at their peak.

When my package arrived, I was in the midst of a particularly unrelenting cluster of breakoutsโ€”perfect timing, I thought, for putting these products to the test and review. Following the brand’s instructions, I ditched all my other skincare products and committed to using only the Norse Organics collection. They also advised against overwashing, as this can trigger excess oil production – music to my ears, as I’d always suspected my zealous cleansing routine might be doing more harm than good.

 

Norse Organics Face scrub

 

The Face Scrub quickly became an essential part of my routine. Used three times a week, this gentle exfoliant contains rice flour, apricot kernel powder, and rose flour. I love that it doesn’t have a strong scent and maintains its texture when mixed with water. To use, I simply take a small pinch, mix it with water in my palm, and apply it to my face. The scrub effectively removes dead skin cells without feeling abrasive, preparing my skin to better absorb the other products in the collection.

 

Norse Organics Acne Killer Night Balm

 

The star of the show for me was the Acne Killer Night Balm. Packed with Wild Mountain Marigold (Calendula Officinalis), Thistle oil, Lavender oil, Beeswax, and Vitamin E, this thick balm spreads easily once warmed on my skin. The natural Salicylic Acid found in Marigold penetrates deep into the pores, while its anti-inflammatory properties can calm and heal any irritations. I was amazed to wake up the first morning to less redness and no new breakouts. By day four, my existing pimples had noticeably shrunk and were starting to heal.

 

Norse Organics 6-in-1 Daily Glow & Moisturize Balm

 

The 6-in-1 Daily Glow & Moisturize Balm is a true multitasker. Packed with 190 bioactive compounds, including rare omega-7 fatty acids, this balm does it all. It contains Hemp and Rose de Mai to reduce redness and inflammation, Rosehip and Pomegranate to fight wrinkles (apparently reducing wrinkle depth by 22% in 8 weeks, according to a clinical study), and Thistle and Squalane for optimal hydration. I apply this balm every morning after cleansing, and my skin feels hydrated all day. It’s also helping to reduce the scarring and crusting left behind by my breakouts.

After just a week of using the complete ritual – exfoliating with the gentle Face Scrub three times a week, applying the 6-in-1 Daily Glow & Moisturize Balm each morning, and treating my skin to the Acne Killer Night Balm before bed – I can confidently say that Norse Organics has changed my skin for the better. Unlike harsh treatments like Accutane or strong retinoids, these products felt nourishing and gentle on my skin. I find these products to be effective in just a short number of days, which is impressive. It’s no wonder why they are popular, with over 100,000 customers leaving them thousands of positive reviews.

Peace Out Acne Healing Dots Review

Breakout much? I found a very interesting acne-fighting product just as I was on my way out of Sephora. I literally had to go back and examine it closer. The product that really caught my attention is the Peace Out Acne Healing Dots ($19), which is basically a waterproof bandage plus Salicylic Acid to combat a pimple, with Aloe Vera to soothe it, and Vitamin A to enhance skin turnover.

There’s about 20 tiny healing dots in the box and you need to stick it on the pimple and wait for 6 hours to see the difference. The dots may be tiny but they adhere very well to the skin. I had a really huge and itchy pimple during the time that I purchased this Acne Healing Dots and I applied it immediately on my skin right after thoroughly cleaning it. They’re super sticky and I felt a tingling sensation at the first few minutes of applying the dots on the pimple. After that, the itchiness has calmed down and the sticky dots did not irritate my skin nor the surrounding area.

You’re supposed to wait 6 hours or overnight to see the difference, but in my experience, even after 4 hours, I already noticed a huge difference. My raging pimple didn’t look so much like in a rage. Instead, it looked less red, less swollen and it didn’t itch anymore. It also feels like it’s being moisturized due to the hydrocolloid properties of the tiny dot bandages, so my pimple felt softer and less inflamed. I also love the fact that the dots are waterproof so it doesn’t allow the bacteria to get in.

 

I don’t about y’all, but I have a thing for picking my pimples, which I shouldn’t have, but I couldn’t help it. But with this Peace Out Acne Healing Dots, my desire to pick my bumpy breakouts has been curtailed. Thank goodness! Because of that, my pimples healed quickly and nicely without any scarring.

I’ve been looking for a product like this for as long as I can remember. I wanted something that sticks on the pimple and constantly delivers a treatment without the need to apply for further salicylic acid creams or even benzoyl peroxides on the face. These healing dots are like low maintenance treatment where you can just apply it on the breakout then forget it. It’s really practical to have wherever you may be, or even when you’re traveling. It eliminates the need to lug some acne creams and they’re extremely handy for when unpredictable situations like hormonal or stress breakouts may occur.
